WORKPLACE MENOPAUSE WORKSHOPS & TRAINING

Give your managers the confidence to have the conversations that could help you retain experienced people.

Menopause doesn’t stop at the workplace door. When managers don’t understand its potential impact, conversations can be avoided, symptoms can be mistaken for performance issues and experienced employees can feel unsupported at precisely the point when the right response could make a difference.

Et Voilà Consultancy delivers practical workplace menopause workshops and training that give managers, leaders and employees the knowledge, language and confidence to respond appropriately and create a more supportive workplace.

THE TRUE COST OF LOSING EXPERIENCE

Replacing an experienced employee can have a much wider impact than the cost of recruitment. Knowledge and experience leave with them, workloads can increase for the people who remain, team dynamics can be disrupted and productivity can fall while a replacement is recruited, onboarded and brought up to speed.

For senior or long serving employees, the impact can reach further still. Repeated or avoidable departures can affect employee morale, your ability to attract and retain talent and, ultimately, your reputation as an employer.

Supporting experienced employees to remain and thrive at work isn’t simply a wellbeing issue. It makes commercial sense.

COST → KNOWLEDGE → TEAM → PRODUCTIVITY → TALENT → REPUTATION

WHY MANAGER TRAINING MATTERS

Your managers are often the link between workplace policy and an employee’s day to day experience. Even the best menopause policy can have limited impact if managers lack the confidence to put it into practice.

Menopause can affect people differently, and symptoms may sometimes be mistaken for performance, capability or attendance issues. A manager who understands how to approach the situation can open a conversation early, explore appropriate workplace support and help prevent a valued employee from reaching the point where leaving feels like their only option.

Manager training isn’t about turning managers into menopause experts.

It’s about giving them the knowledge, language and confidence to manage people well knowing how to start sensitive conversations, what practical adjustments may help, when to involve HR and where the boundaries of their role lie.

When managers feel confident and employees feel able to speak, organisations are better placed to retain experience, protect productivity and turn workplace policy into meaningful practice.

CONFIDENT CONVERSATIONS → EARLIER SUPPORT → BETTER RETENTION → STRONGER MANAGEMENT

WORKSHOPS THAT START THE CONVERSATION

Workplace menopause workshops create the understanding and awareness that help make wider cultural change possible.

Designed for employees at all levels, sessions provide a clear and accessible understanding of menopause, how symptoms can affect people at work and why workplace support matters. They also help challenge misconceptions, reduce stigma and create a shared language around a subject that many people can still find difficult to discuss.

Importantly, these aren’t workshops just for women experiencing menopause. Colleagues, partners, managers and team members all have a role to play in creating a workplace where people feel understood and supported.

Sessions are engaging, practical and designed to encourage conversation helping employees understand not only menopause itself, but how they can contribute to a more informed and supportive workplace culture.

AWARENESS → UNDERSTANDING → CONVERSATION → CULTURE
